IINFLUENCE OF METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS IN DIFFERENT SEASONS ON INCIDENCE OF HYPERTENSIVE DISEASE COMPLICATIONS IN NOVOSIBIRSK RESIDENTS

During 2010-2012, there were analyzed daily data about ambulance call-outs in Novosibirsk made by 2 132 440 patients. There has been calculated frequency of call-outs concerning a hypertensive crisis, myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accidents per day per 1000 inhabitants, a correlation dependence of the frequency of ambulance call-outs to patients with the listed cardiovascular diseases on the main changing meteorological factors has been determined. It has been shown that in Western Siberia (Novosibirsk) conditions, the number of ambulance call-outs to patients with hypertensive crisis and vascular catastrophes had seasonal dynamics and increased to the maximum in winter and spring. This increase in hypertension exacerbations in those seasons of the year was largely due to the sharp drop in temperature combined with differences in atmospheric pressure. The detected regularity allows to attribute these meteorological phenomena to the risk factors of arterial hypertension progression. There is stressed the need for mandatory development of modern technologies of mass prevention of arterial hypertension progression using psycho-physiological non-drug and pharmacological methods of action on the basis of long-term medical meteorological and geophysical forecasts.
